Additional Information
A somewhat surreal black comedy directed and co-scripted by Roman Polanski, CUL-DE-SAC is the tale of a mismatched married couple, George and Teresa (Donald Pleasence and Francoise Dorleac), living in an 11th-century castle on an isolated island whose home is invaded by two gangsters on the run after an unsuccessful heist. Lionel Stander plays Dicky, a thug who attempts to save the life of his mortally wounded partner (Jack MacGowran) by enlisting the help of George and Teresa, then holds them captive in their own home as the group awaits the arrival of the mysterious Mr. Kattlebach, the gangsters' boss whom Dicky has contacted prior to cutting the phone line. The nubile young Teresa proves more resourceful than her ever-cringing husband as they try to come up with a plan for eluding their boorish captor; further complications arise, however, after an unexpected visit from an old school chum of George's, who arrives with an entourage of annoying family and friends. In spite of tensions that, as Polanski later reported, existed between him and his often less than cooperative stars, all three principals give fine performances, most notably Pleasence as the cuckolded, humiliated, and (as Dicky at one point proclaims) hopelessly "square" British WWII veteran George.

  • A Black Comedy not to be missed.

    In its day this film was regularly screened in every arthouse cinema. It is dark and compulsive viewing and contains everything you would expect from the Polanski stable. The characters are superb. Donald Pleasence at his most camp, Lionel Stander in perhaps his most celebrated role - he had a very similar role in PULP - and the excellent Jack MacGowan's over the top performance. The film location is Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island, Northumberland - a location that Polanski would use again for MACBETH. Shot in glorious mono, the screenplay follows the demise of an unlikely pair of wounded gangsters who end up on Holy Island after a failed robbery on the mainland. The whole effort is character-based and the way they react with thier captive hostages and each other. A black comedy of ...

  • Cul-De-Sac

    This film was Polanskies 2nd and ultimitley best. It features a wonderful interface with all the charters, if you can put surrealisim into film without being over the top this is it. The ending is of the NOW it capuslates every emotion to the point of sheer anarchy. Not to be missed.
